Player Updates

After straining his hamstring Wednesday, no further news surfaced that Garcia's health was trending in the right direction. He'll now aim to be back in full health for the 2018 campaign, as he finishes the season with a .238 batting average and .705 OPS that was built over 44 games.

Garcia (hamstring) is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Angels.

Garcia will miss some time after exiting Wednesday with a left hamstring strain. There hasn't been any update on Garcia's status, or a timetable for that matter, but it's a real possibility that he won't be back on the field again this season.

Garcia was removed from Wednesday's game against the Angels with a left hamstring strain, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Garcia appeared to tweak his hamstring while attempting to beat out a grounder in the eighth inning, and he was subsequently replaced by Rymer Liriano in the top of the ninth frame. He's currently being listed as day-to-day, though it wouldn't be surprising if he didn't play again this season given how few games are left.

Garcia started in left field and went 0-for-3 in Sunday's 12-0 loss to the Tigers.

Garcia made his first start after missing 45 games while recovering from a fractured jaw. He filled in for Nicky Delmonico (rest) and had the misfortune of facing Detroit left-hander Matthew Boyd, who no-hit the White Sox over 8.2 innings before losing his bid when Tim Anderson doubled off him. The 24-year-old Garcia, who is not considered a top prospect in the organization, will use the final two weeks of the season to earn a spot on next season's 25-man roster.

He fractured his jaw in a July collision with Yoan Moncada and also suffered a concussion. The 25-year-old will return to a part-time role for the rebuilding Pale Hose. Garcia holds a meager .258/.317/.441 line with two homers in 105 plate appearances.
